Toward an Anthology of Spanish-American Women Poets, 1880-1930 is an anthology of my translations from Spanish to English of 42 poems by 25 women from 11 countries in the Americas. Each poet in the anthology has a short biographical note with information about their work and about the poems I chose for the anthology. From the biographies, I link out to their poems and my English translations. If you prefer the book in one big batch, you can download it as a PDF.

A 90-page essay on gender and genre that draws heavily on Joanna Russ’s How to Suppress Women’s Writing and explores the concept of modernismo. How are writers framed as “important” and added to the literary canon? What patterns can we see in the ways whether women are included in anthologies or not, in anthologies organized by nation, literary movement, or some other theme? When we look at what women were writing in a particular time, might that work look like part of its own literary movement?

Thank you for this important book, Liz Henry. I’ve been researching Adela Zamudio and her work, and learned new and valuable information in your book. Are you on academia.edu? I didn’t find you there when I searched. A lot of scholars on academia.edu would be happy to read your work.
